bodybuilder explaining when to use an aromatase inhibitor for estrogen control

Josh Goold breaks down when – and when not – to use an aromatase inhibitor in bodybuilding

By Josh Goold, bodybuilder and online coach

KNOWING when to use an aromatase inhibitor (AI) is one of the most misunderstood areas in bodybuilding. While many see AIs as a quick fix for estrogen-related issues, incorrect use can do more harm than good.

IN his last Pot of Goold column with frontdouble.com, bodybuilder and coach Josh Goold explained how to modulate estrogen while using an anabolic steroid cycle.

In this latest video, Goold highlights the signs to look for when it is time to control that estrogen using an AI – aromatase inhibitor.

As Goold explains in his latest video, most of us know AIs as arimidex or aromasin. Some of us would include these in our cycles at moderate doses to control estrogen levels.

But, as he explains, the use of an AI should really be judged on an individual basis. While some of us might see estrogen climb with just a moderate amount of testosterone, others might not need anywhere near as much.

Some us can even control these levels with just a DHT derivative, such as primobolan, masteron or equipoise.
